3 "But come here, you sons of a sorceress, R2339 Offspring R2340 of an adulterer and a F778 prostitute. R23414 "Against whom do you jest? Against whom do you open wide your mouth And stick out your tongue? Are you not children of rebellion, R2342 Offspring of deceit, 5 Who inflame yourselves among the oaks, R2343F779 Under R2344 every luxuriant tree, Who slaughter R2345 the children in the ravines, F780 Under the clefts of the crags? 6 "Among the smooth R2346F781 stones of the ravine F782 Is your portion, they F783 are your lot; Even to them you have poured R2347 out a drink offering, You have made a grain offering. Shall I relent R2348F784 concerning these things? 7 "Upon a high R2349 and lofty mountain You have made R2350 your bed. You also went up there to offer sacrifice. 8 "Behind the door and the doorpost You have set up your sign; Indeed, far removed from Me, you have uncovered R2351 yourself, And have gone up and made your bed wide. And you have made an agreement for yourself with them, You have loved their bed, F785 You have looked on their manhood. F7869 "You have journeyed to the king with oil And increased your perfumes; You have sent R2352 your envoys a great distance And made them go down to Sheol. F78710 "You were tired out by the length of your road, Yet you did not say, `It R2353 is hopeless.' You found renewed F788 strength, Therefore you did not faint. F78911 "Of whom R2354 were you worried and fearful When you lied, and did not R2355 remember Me Nor F790 give R2356 Me a thought? Was I not silent even for a long time So you do not fear Me? 12 "I will declare R2357 your righteousness and your deeds, R2358 But they will not profit you.
